Pump, jump, bump, and stump with glee,
We'll play and have fun, just wait and see!
A slump and a clump, a plump, and a dump,
We'll play till we're tired, then take a rest on a bump.

Pump up your toys, and watch them soar,
Jump on the bed, and touch the floor.
Bump into friends, and play a game,
Slump on the couch, and call it fame.

Stump in the woods, and climb a tree,
Plump juicy berries, pick them with glee!
A clump of flowers, colorful and bright,
Dump them in a vase, and make them just right.

So pump up your heart, and jump with delight,
Bump and stump and clump with all your might!
Plump and dump, and play with cheer,
This is the way we have fun, year after year!

Reflections

1. What does each word in the story mean?
2. Can you come up with your own actions for each word?
3. How does the story make you feel?
4. What kind of things do you like to do for fun?
5. Can you think of any other words that describe playing and having fun?
